The evening features the world premier of Landmarks’ newest work for children, “John Adams: Voice Heard ‘Round the World,” composed by Anthony DiLorenzo with text by Marian Carlson. The night’s program also includes performances of An American in Paris, by George Gershwin and Symphony No. 9 from “The New World,” by Antonin Dvorák.

In tune with the excitement surrounding John Adams earlier this year, Ansbacher chose to commission a piece connecting children with one of the most important Founding Fathers. Specifically for member of the audience ages 8-12, the piece introduces younger generations to classical music and stimulates imagination.

The Orchestra’s mission is to present high quality professional orchestral music for free to diverse audiences that include residents of and visitors to Boston. Last year, over 50,000 people attended the Landmarks Festival at the Shell, which this year will take place every Wednesday at 7pm at the DRC’s Hatch Shell on the Esplanade.
